On the evening of August 15, September 5, Beijing time, it was reported that Amazon cooperated with the US Post Service to deliver fresh food services in the trial camp in San Francisco. Amazon hopes that this will allow more people to learn about Amazon's fresh food delivery business and ultimately launch this service nationwide.
In San Francisco, the fresh food pilot camp for Amazon and US post is planned to start the first week of August and will last 60 days until the end of September. The customer's fresh food will be sealed in the insulated package and delivered to the door from AM to am every day. According to market demand, this trial activity may be expanded to a larger scope.
Due to the decline of the mail delivery business, the United States post service has been at a loss for many years. The cooperation between Amazon and the United States post has led the latter to regain hope for profit. In 2013, the U.S. Postal Service's package delivery business increased by 6% to $3.7 billion. A u. S. Post spokesman said that u. S. Post is evaluating the feasibility and profitability of the Service to residential and commercial sites through its postal sites.
The US Post Office is further cooperating with Amazon on the delivery of fresh food, and the company hopes to carry out the delivery of fresh food in the United States. Amazon has previously launched this service in the Seattle region. It is expected that the business will expand to 20 cities by the end of 2014.
For this cooperation, Amazon declined to comment on it, indicating that the company is committed to discovering all possible ways to deliver goods to customers.
